Blue aventurine is a relative of quartz. This shimmering stone has healing and magical properties. Not so much of this breed is left in nature, so synthetic fakes are increasingly found. Consider blue aventurine and its properties in more detail.
Origin
Aventurine in translation from Italian means "adventure". It is not surprising that this shimmering breed was so named. A stone occurred as a result of mixing clay with sand. For many years, this process forms compaction, in which pieces of hematite and mica are periodically included.
These inclusions form a stunning inner flicker, which in the blue version of the stone looks like a starry summer night. Hence the popular name of the stone “Night in Cairo”.

How to distinguish natural stone from fake?
Since there is not too much aventurine in nature, they began to produce its synthetic analogues. In beauty, they are not inferior to natural ones, but naturally they lack healing and magical properties.

There are several ways to distinguish a fake.
- By brilliance. Real stone shines slightly. He has a noble reflection, coming mainly from the inside.If the product shines brightly and brightly, shimmering with all the colors of the rainbow, then the likelihood that it is a fake is very high.
- Overflow. Natural aventurine has iridescent overflows on its surface, but a fake cannot boast of such a decorative property.
- By uniformity and color saturation. Natural stone is distinguished by a dim, muted shade of blue. In addition, the color is uneven due to its natural origin. A synthetic analogue is often painted in a uniform bright blue color.
- By structure. In this adventure, it is easy to discern small cracks and grayishness. Artificial stones are completely uniform and smooth.
- By the glow. Natural stone has an interesting feature to glow in the dark. You should not expect such magic from a synthetic analogue.
- By strength. The artificial stone is easy to scratch, but the mineral is very durable both in ordinary wear and in case of accidental bumps.
